Hi all currently trying to bring my golf back to life. Not sure if my pic worked! But the golf has been off the road for five or so years, due to a Subaru obsession ha! But I finally brought a welder at the start of the year and have been doing bits and bobs when the family allows!!! I’ll try and post some of the pics. It’s not a major overhaul but for a diy’er some challenges!! And swear words but hopefully soon I’ll get her to that B road and blast her again… if anyone recognises the plate? F388NLW. Cheers all rich …. And Gary is the car… lol
Cheers cressa I’ll try and figure photo thing out…did have the golf up and running for five years. But got tempted by gold wheels and a rumble. Until the mrs refused to drop the kids off at school in it ! Ha. We compromised on a jdm legacy now.. bit more under the radar.. lol.
welcome and good luck with the project! Adding photos is a lot easier if you're a paid member. afaik you can only insert photos from Flickr if you've got a Pro account there too. Nice looking car, is it a runner?
Thanks for info saladman I’ll look into it afraid that pic was the last time it was running, it now lies in the same place but with a garage around him. Was all running fine tho just needed some tlc, to date I’ve done rear valence bit of the arches and the usual windscreen repairs, recently fitted new brakes lines and rear bushes on the beam ( took some creative ideas to get the oem bushes in! ) but plan to do belts and general ancillary bits,, after finding a split in the coolant pipe where the oil cooler has corroded … but just a diy’er so everyday is a school day lol !!! But cheers and I’ll try and get easier photos up
as if by magic, the picture appears its tricky to hotlink images these days most hosts wont let you do it easily. Once you get a few more posts you can upload them direct to the forum and that way they'll never go missing
Oh wow!!! Looking good great stuff rubjonny. Just sent off for membership. Although my car has your sticker on my windscreen! So a previous owner poss on here somewhere!!! Seriously love that car. I’ll share some pics soon cheers all
Welcome, love a DIY resurrection thread. Can’t help with the number plate but NLW must be No Longer Working
